I am reading some mcidas data files directly from a local network disk.
I use the following in python:

area=AreaAdapter(request)

about 10% of the time the hangs up, probably because my local network is
busy.
The problem is that it hangs forever.

Is there a way to put a timer on this so that it will time out after a
few seconds?
So that I can try again.
